My Food Diary on the Countdown to 50

I will be 50 in 14 months and have 6 st 8 lbs to lose to be in a 'healthy range'. My main aim is to be healthy, followed by sheer vanity; I don't want to look the size of a baby elephant anymore. I want to shed the frumpy 40s and be glamorous at 50.

Hi,I get worried that im eating either too much or too little each day.Looking at your diary has helped me to find a happy medium lol x
 
This is my second attempt at slimming world. The first time I lost a stone but kept making all the syn free desserts and eating the whole lot, eventually I stopped losing weight and stopped going. My rule now is to make 1 or 2 max desserts a week and if I eat them in one day I don't get anymore.

Do you have snacks in between meals? If you do are they free foods or super free? Im asking because ive been really restricting myself in between meals because im scared of eating too much :/
 
I've found if you restrict yourself to much then you end up feeling miserable and then quitting. If you fancy something inbetween try to make it superfree or a free yogurt. I'm a grazer, so I eat all the time but I try to make my snacks fruit or yogurts. All my snacks are eaten in between meals :)
